Royal rugby and football

Today is Prince William’s 34th birthday. Yesterday he was in France watching England vs Slovakia match at Euro 2016. England is the 2nd favourite team in my home, right after Poland. This is because Jacek is Polish and a Tottenham Hotspur fan. And there are several Hotspurs repping the English side.

To celebrate his birthday, PEOPLE published a very flattering article about Will today, calling him a great ambassador for “modern monarchy”. Some members of the British press might not agree with that, given how they perceive the Cambridges’ handling of their publicity, especially in comparison to his brother, Prince Harry, who, lately, has certainly shown a flair for “modern” media.

Here’s Harry today in Manchester at a community rugby initiative. There’s video…but before you get too excited, it’s touch, so no scrum. That said, his shirt is open at the neck and his sleeves are rolled. It’s a really good look on him.
